A Horse Goes on a Tear.
Albert Ilulberl. of Philadelphia, who
Is in this city making the new gas and
turning It into the old mains of tho
new gas company, was limping around
town yesterday afternoon with his face
contorted with pain every time he put
his light foot on the ground. His in
jury was duo to an excellence he had
enrlior in the day. lie accompanied
Dr. J. ('. Harper, of Church street, on
the physician's round of morning calls
and held the reins over tho doctor's
4p1ilted horse while tin- doctor was
Inside feeling pulses. Hu got along first
nite and when the doctor was driv
ing he expressed his admiration of the
finalities of the animal. tr. Tinnier
stopped at a residence on Lincoln ave
nue, and Mr. Hulbert resumed bis
piaetice of holding the horse up. I5ut
the keen air had Imparted a wonderful
spirit to the horse, or else It was the
close proximity of the gas man that
surcharged his veins with fire. Any
way, It commenced to paw and champ
Its bit and act real coltish. Then Mr.
Hulbeit said "Gee-dap!" and staited
the horse off for a little promenade
until the doctor should come out. F.ut
the pace Mr. .Hulbert had In view
didn't suit the horse. He had only
gone a short ways when he stopped,
put his head down and lefused to go
further. Then Mr. Hulbert began
coaxing. Perhaps he coaxed too hard,
for the equine changed its mind in a
flash, mado a turn and started back
nt a gallop. Air. Hulbert hung on the
lines with his jaw set and his eyes
wide open, and swung the horse clear
of several obstacles in Us path.
The animnl fought hard to gel Its
head, but long experience with the
pliers nnd tongs had made the gas
man's wrists hard as steel, and lie kept
perfect control of the erratic beast.
"When the house of Dr. Charles Burr,
tin Grove street, was 1 cached, tho
horse suddenly mado an alteration lit
his line of campaign nnd did a merry
waltz with Its fore feet In the air for
it few seconds. Then ho Jumped up,
cracked his heels together and fell
over dead. The canlage was over
turned und Mr. Hulbert did an acro
batic act in getting out from under it.
Ileyond hurting his foot severely, he
was not Injured. The horse wns a
valuable one and had been owned by
Dr. Harper only a short time.
Senilis Donovan Dead.

two;vecks' slego of muscular rheuma-tlsin-'-He

man Thompson, of this city. Mr. nnd
Mrs, Thompson were In attendance at
the bedside of their brother, the latter
having gone to Scranton some days ago
and Mr. Thompson having been sunt
for on Monday morning, as the doc

Inclement Weather
The
Inclement weather begins in No
vember. The groat objection to our
climate is that It alternates between
the heat of the tropics and the rigors
of the Arctic.
The system becomes relaxed by the
effects of the heat, and the first cold
snap of November sows the seed of
thousands of cases of chronic catarrh
which in a large per cent, of cases
will end fatally.

The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus. O.
Gentlemen: For years past when 1
hnve been exposed to wet or Inclement
weather my chest would hurt me and I
would have serious indigestion, and I
would be laid up for a day or two,
causing inconvenience and pain.
One of my lodge friends advised me
to try Peruna. as It had helped him,
and I found that a bottle cured me.
If I feel badly now I nt once take
two or three doses, and I find It keeps
me In fine health. Peruna Is worthy
of every one's confidence.
Yours respectfully,
WM. IJUELAKKU.
It is only Just ordinary good, com
mon sense to provide against inclement
weather. If you have the slightest
cold, cough, sneezing, or any other In
dication thnt you are "under the
weather," a few doses of Peruna will
put you right.
Don't wait for the catarrh to fasten
Itself upon you before you begin your
treatment. Peruna will cure very old
cases of chronic catarrh, but it takes
much longer than If the tieatment
had been begun earlier.
Every family should be provided with
a bottle of Peruna early In November,
with which to successfully meet and
overcome the terrors of winter that
awaits them.
One of the most common forms of
catarrh among delicate women Is ca
tnrrh of the pelvic organs. This leads
to a host of maladies which have been

will be on sale. All are cordially in
